In a 50-50 situation, which IMHO, is what this election looks like, purple prose,IMHO, no matter how factually based, just ain't gonna cut it with those hovering about the middle of the road waiting for a sign.

In fact, recitation of the dolorous facts isn't enough. We need to see firmly articulated:

A Program, A Plan to Implement it
and leaders charismativc and balsy enough to sell it.

So far, IMHO, no gots.

IOW, no one has to tell me, a far right Conservative who probably would have been a Tory during the Revolution, how frickin' bad Obama is. I am ready to believe he is the AntiChrist and will enthusiastically join the other 34 people in this country who agree with me to vote against him, even if for Romney, who strikes me as weak tea, indeed. OK? But WTF is next?

The Federal Government is "merely" about 15% too large. Is Romney going to terminate useless Cabinet Departments like Energy, Education, EPA? We need AUSTERITY. Government austerity. To accomplish it, the budget needs to be slashed, taxes lowered, regulation books burned. IMHO, Federal efficiency ... never anything to write home about ... peaked, such as it was, in the 1950's.

Who is going to downsize it back to its proper proportion vis-a-vis GNP, and exactly how? Romney? The Republicans give me the impression, despite their lame "Conservative" imitation, they want to keep their lucrative deals going and that they can beat Obama because of economic misery. I ain't so sure that's enough. And this is America's last chance before sliding into an increasingly socialist abyss as demanded by a now dominant Third-World-Majority electorate..

Agreed. Reforming education in this country is THEE MOST IMPORTANT thing the Republicans can do.

We must limit the left’s hideous influence on the minds of our children. If we don’t do that, nothing else matters.

This is why Bush was such a disppointment. After the election, we need to put the pressure on.
